Chapter 36: Xiao Huan is Really Pitiful
Hearing Tang Rao's words, Ye Xiaobai fell silent.
Tang Rao was an interesting fellow, but also quite eerie.
All sorts of investigations and intelligence channels indicated that Tang Rao was a nobody—no talent, no brains, no strength.
Yet, he had killed Lu Dingjia.
Originally, Ye Xiaobai thought Tang Rao might have a master by his side, but now, it seemed like Lu Dingjia was indeed killed by Tang Rao.
Ye Xiaobai himself was a cultivator in the Qi Gathering stage, yet he was completely suppressed by Tang Rao, unable to fight back.
Moreover, for now, he didn't know the limits of Tang Rao's strength. If he really pushed him into a corner and started a fight to the death, it would be quite a troublesome matter.
"Kid, tell me, are you doing this for Jiang Langhuan?" Tang Rao suddenly asked.
There was hardly any interaction between Ye Xiaobai and Tang Rao before this, so for this guy suddenly wanting to kill him, there had to be a reason.
Jiang Langhuan was a possibility.
Of course, there was another possibility, and that was this kid simply wanted him dead.
Because by doing so, he could pin the blame on some other major family.
For example: the Lu Family.
"I won't tell you, I'll make you die from anger!" Ye Xiaobai sneered, remembering that Tang Rao had said the same thing to him.
Using someone else's words to mock them back felt incredibly satisfying.
Tang Rao: "..."
Indeed, there was something really wrong with this Ye Xiaobai guy; who knew how he developed such a twisted and perverse character.
"Yo, aren't these Young Master Ye and Young Master Tang? You two seem to be having a good chat," Lu He said, walking over at some unknown time and speaking to Ye Xiaobai and Tang Rao.
Although this guy's appearance and demeanor were somewhat similar to Ye Xiaobai's,
there was a hint of shadow in his eyes, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, Tang Rao is a very interesting person indeed," Ye Xiaobai said with a laugh, grinning harmlessly.
Lu He immediately sneered.
"Ye Xiaobai, have you fallen to such lows? You find such a person interesting? Are you trying to learn how to be just as incompetent?" Lu He had thin lips, and his words were quite unpleasant.
With one sentence, he insulted both Tang Rao and Ye Xiaobai.
Tang Rao's face showed displeasure, and Ye Xiaobai pouted.
"Xiao Bai..." Tang Rao suddenly stretched out his hand, hooking it around Ye Xiaobai's shoulder, smiling brightly.
Ye Xiaobai blinked in surprise, glanced at Tang Rao, and then smiled as well.
Tang Rao was really much more fun than those people from Tiandu.
"Is this moron from the Lu Family Lu He?" Tang Rao asked.
"Exactly, exactly, this moron is Lu He," Ye Xiaobai nodded repeatedly, his face full of excitement.
The people around didn't know what Ye Xiaobai was getting worked up about, of course, and what was more surprising to the onlookers was that Tang Rao seemed to get along very well with Ye Xiaobai, even slinging his arm around his shoulder.
"Heard he's pursuing my fiancée?" Tang Rao continued.
Ye Xiaobai nodded again: "Exactly, exactly, this moron is chasing after Jiang Langhuan, he's trying to steal your girl."
Lu He's face had already changed colors, Ye Xiaobai and Tang Rao calling him a moron was seriously irritating him.
When had Lu He ever been so insulted!
"Tsks tsks tsks, you can't even control your emotions? Pathetic! Really feel sorry for our Xiao Huan, to be targeted by such an idiot," Tang Rao sat with one leg crossed over the other, his face full of disdain.
"That's what I'm saying, Xiao Huan is so pitiful. But there's nothing that can be done, you know, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of strange birds," Ye Xiaobai chimed in with Tang Rao, both of them getting excited.
As for Lu He's expression, it turned darker and darker, the wine glass in his hand creaking from the pressure.
Clearly, Lu He was starting to lose control of the anger in his heart.
Ye Xiaobai giving it to him he could tolerate, but that Tang Rao, daring to insult him as well!
What are you, Tang Rao? Less than trash!
You think just because the Tang Family has some money you're incredible? If I, Lu He, want to, I could make it so you have no place in Yanguo in minutes!
Even Tang Renwang has to lower his stance in front of me, what the hell are you, Tang Rao?!
"Tang Rao, do you know what you're saying and doing?" Lu He's eyes were sinister, he couldn't tolerate a piece of trash flaunting in front of him.
For Lu He, this was an immense humiliation.
"I know, what are you going to do about it? Hit me? My face is right here, come on, I'm waiting." Tang Rao pushed his face forward, shamelessly unmatched.
"Since you're asking for it, I'll grant your wish!" Lu He growled lowly, his eyes ferocious.
Care about the Tang Family's face? Does he, Lu He, need to give the Tang Family any face?
What if Bai Yushu is Tang Renwang's wife? After all, Bai Yushu is nothing but a daughter married off from the Bai Family!
...
This conflict had already caught the attention of many, with quite a few people gathering around like they were watching a blockbuster movie.
They were all somewhat surprised that things had escalated to this level.
Lu He was actually going to publicly slap Tang Rao in the face.
It was a literal face-slapping.
"Unruly child! Unruly child indeed!" In the outskirts of the crowd, Tang Renwang was furious, Tang Rao this little bastard was getting more and more outrageous, actually provoking Lu He.
Do you even know who Lu He is?
The only male of the third generation of the Lu Family, meaning Lu He is definitely set to inherit everything from the Lu Family.
Provoking Lu He is the same as provoking the Lu Family.
Next to Tang Renwang, Bai Yushu and Bai Xiaotong also had faces full of concern, Lu He was no small character.
At the entire banquet, Lu He was the very last person you'd want to provoke.
Even Ye Xiaobai couldn't be compared with Lu He.
Ye Xiaobai is just the third young master of the Ye Family, it's not his turn to inherit the Ye Family yet.
Lu He had already walked up to Tang Rao, staring down at Tang Rao with utter disdain.
Trash, today I'll show you, some people, you just can't afford to provoke! Even your dad can only watch me slap you with his own eyes! He, Tang Renwang, wouldn't dare waste a word with me!
"Tang Rao, do you know? You're really stupid, stupid enough to make me laugh!" Lu He taunted Tang Rao, thinking that Tang Rao must've been provoked by Ye Xiaobai to confront him.
Ye Xiaobai, always so sly.
Tang Rao ignored Lu He, instead turning to look at Ye Xiaobai.
"See, sometimes, life is so fascinating. You don't have to go out of your way to set traps for me, I'll dig them myself." Tang Rao said with a smile.
Ye Xiaobai grinned, he really hadn't expected Tang Rao to go head-to-head with Lu He like this.
"Do you think that for the sake of the Tang Family, I would back down?" Tang Rao continued speaking to Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai was momentarily stunned, looking at Tang Rao in surprise.
This guy, was he really planning to go all out against the Lu Family?
Does your Tang Family even qualify?
At this moment, backing down would actually be the best choice.
"Idiotic trash!" Lu He could no longer hold back, his palm swept up, directly aiming for Tang Rao's face.
Tang Rao suddenly turned his head, Spiritual Energy exploding from his Dantian.
The Dragon King Claw's momentum was fierce, its cruel aura causing goosebumps to sprout.
"Slap!" Followed by the sound of a massive palm strike.
